Conspiracy - Chemtrail conspiracy theory - Netflix

The chemtrail conspiracy theory is the false claim that long-lasting
condensation trails, called “chemtrails” by proponents, consist of
chemical or biological agents left in the sky by high-flying aircraft
and deliberately sprayed for purposes undisclosed to the general public.
Believers in the theory argue that normal contrails dissipate relatively
quickly and contrails that do not dissipate must contain additional
substances. Those who subscribe to the theory speculate that the purpose
of the chemical release may be solar radiation management, weather
modification, psychological manipulation, human population control, or
biological or chemical warfare and that the trails are causing
respiratory illnesses and other health problems. The arguments have been
dismissed by the scientific community; these are normal water-based
contrails that are routinely left by high-flying aircraft under certain
atmospheric conditions. Although proponents have tried to prove that the
chemical spraying does take place, their analyses have been flawed or
based on misconceptions. Because of the persistence of the conspiracy
theory and questions about government involvement, scientists and
government agencies around the world have repeatedly explained that the
supposed chemtrails are in fact normal contrails. The term chemtrail is
a portmanteau of the words chemical and trail, as contrail is of
condensation and trail.

Conspiracy - Description - Netflix

Proponents of the chemtrail conspiracy theory find support for their
theories in their interpretations of sky phenomena, videos posted to the
internet, and reports about government programs; they also have certain
beliefs about the goals of the alleged conspiracy and the effects of its
alleged efforts and generally take certain actions based on those
beliefs.
